Mother’s Day gift ideas are all the rage these days but no material gift can match the sacrifice and love that our moms have given us. Each and every one of us owe it to our mothers that we are here on this planet even if there are natural, man-made and possibly out-of-this-world forces threatening to wipe half of the population of the universe with a snap of a finger. Because we love our mothers as much as we love ourselves, it is just right to give them the gift of preparedness for Mother’s Day.

Guidebooks
Are you having a hard time finding the perfect gift for your expecting lady? Is your wife into prepping? Combine the two to come up with one of the most practical Mother’s Day gift ideas ever. The first-time prepper mom will appreciate the thought of helping her prepare for a baby. Both parents can learn a lot about surviving pregnancy and post-pregnancy.
Books are some of the safest Mother’s Day gift ideas for the woman who loves to read. If you want to introduce the women in your life to prepping, a guide book for beginners is one way to go. Most survival guides teach you basic survival skills, what to store in your pantry, what survival gear you’ll need, and even the recipes fit for a prepper queen and her family.
Sewing Kit
Ideally, preppers need only needles, some thread, and a few other items for sewing in their survival pack. Since it’s Mother’s Day, why not get your loved one a portable and lightweight set she can use at home and grab easily when SHTF.
Window breaker
Prepping is all about being ready for unforeseen events such as a natural disaster, emergency situations, and an alien invasion. A window breaker seems unnecessary to some people but for preppers, it’s a life saver.

A tactical pen can break glass and break bones without breaking the bank. For under $20, you give your mother a way to defend herself and to get out of life-and-death situations. It comes in a hot pink number.

Car Emergency Kit
Most Mother’s Day gift ideas are about making the most important women in your life happy. The best gift you can give them, though, is the gift of preparedness. You’ll never know what would happen when your mom or your wife is out for a drive. If the car breaks down or they encounter some accident, a car emergency kit will go a long way in insuring their safety. A good roadside assistance kit includes warning devices, a reflective safety vest, booster cable for the battery, a first aid kit, a multi-tool, whistle, duct tape, and other survival tools. They should also know how to change tires and do basic fixes on the car.
Knife
Another must-have for preppers is a sharp sturdy knife. It’s useful in opening letters, slicing fruits and vegetables, skinning animals, and stabbing zombies in the head.

Bag
Surely, most lists of Mother’s Day gift ideas include expensive signature bags. If you want to be practical and your mom is into prepping, she’s better off with a bug-out bag.

A fireproof and waterproof document bag is just what the doctor ordered.
Pressure Cooker
The end of the world puts a lot of pressure on everyone especially mothers who worry about their children. Relieve a little of that pressure by gifting her with a pressure cooker. This prepper kitchen must-have is perfect for making fruit preserves, jams, and other long-lasting food products.
